1584. The storm is coming and the sky is full of fire

Faida Planet, Derapha City.

Boom~~!! Boom~~~!!! Explosions continued to sound, exploding in the main streets of the city, and countless Corpse Puppet were shattered by the powerful firepower.

The LAAT/I assault transport boat landed with a large number of Clone Trooper, and they immediately began to enter the position without saying a word.

On all the main thoroughfares, gangs and mercenary groups have already built lines of defense with cars and debris. People with deep pockets have also hired construction teams to further strengthen these lines of defense with construction machinery such as bulldozers.

For ordinary Corpse Puppet, this is already an insurmountable obstacle.

Therefore, when Clone Trooper started to land, the gangs and mercenaries thought they had taken control of the situation, but they did not look down upon Clone Trooper who came to help. Some even threatened to kill them all together with Corpse Puppet.

But after all, these gangsters are still a little self-aware and dare not really conflict with these Clone Trooper who have made a name for themselves on the battlefields of the galaxy.

boom! boom! boom!! The addition of regular military firepower immediately caused the whole city to be filled with artillery fire. Under the joint attack of the AV-7 self-propelled artillery and the Y-wing bomber's air-ground integration, those Corpse Puppet were blown to pieces without being able to form an effective organization.

Almost within a few dozen minutes, hundreds of thousands of Corpse Puppet were wiped out in the bombing.

Seeing this scene, the gangsters, smugglers and mercenaries did not want to continue to be with the Galactic Republic Army, so they withdrew from the front line and retreated towards planet's capital, Chynesti City.

These guys who are used to lawlessness naturally understand that even if they repulse Geth's attack this time, Galactic Republic Army will never leave again.

In other words, their good days are over.

However, at this moment, the action patterns of those Corpse Puppet suddenly changed! All the Corpse Puppets hid in the buildings and stopped attacking from the front!

"Asshole! These Corpse Puppet are all hiding!" A Clone Trooper looked at the battle situation in the distance with a telescope and cursed angrily.

The clone Commander with the blue armband on the combat armor also looked at the situation in the city with a telescope, and his tone became solemn, "Derapha City has occupied at least half of the area. Once these Corpse Puppet hide like this, it will be difficult for us to really clean them up within a few months. We can only evacuate the civilians as much as possible, and then blow up the entire city."

"I'm just worried that they have other plans. Don't forget, Geth has not appeared so far." Clone Trooper said.

"What about the other directions?" Clone Commander asked.

"The engineering team that went to capital, Chynesti City to build a defense line was blocked. Those people were unwilling to start construction in the city or move out from Homeworld. They called our action an invasion." Clone Trooper said helplessly.

"Where's the interdiction force?"

"They have taken control of the town and the operation is relatively smooth. The fuel warehouse has stored more than 4,000 tons of fuel. The engineering team is building a 5 to 10 kilometers wide burning zone. As long as more Corpse Puppet actions are discovered, then Then they will immediately detonate the fuel and block Corpse Puppet's attack. "Clone Trooper said, "However, the teams that went to find Geth's base have not responded yet."

"Well... I have a very bad feeling." Clone Commander said solemnly, "Report to the fleet. If it doesn't work, use low-intensity Orbital Bombardment on the general area. Transfer Acclamator-class assault ship."

"I think General Henderson would not take this risk with Acclamator-class. After all, no one knows what is hidden in those mountains and jungles." Clone Trooper said.

At this time, the communication soldier walked over quickly and said, "Sir! More Geth warship appeared in the outer orbit of the planet! General Henderson led the fleet to intercept! He asked us to be prepared in case Geth has any other actions!"

"Damn it! Geth really has other plans!" Clone Commander cursed, "Notify all units to further consolidate defenses and organize the front line! Be ready for combat at any time!"

However, before he finished speaking, he saw a sudden red light in the distance that almost ignited the entire sky!

A few seconds later, boom! boom! boom!! Company One A series of violent explosions came over, and even the earth was shaking!

"It's the blocking force! They detonated the fuel warehouse!" Upon seeing this, the communications soldier quickly picked up the communicator and started calling, "The blocking force! This is 204th Legion, please answer!! Report your situation immediately!"

However, there was only a burst of noise coming from the communication. It seemed that someone was talking, but it was covered by the constant explosions and it was impossible to hear what was being said.

"Every unit is ready to fight!! Geth should launch an attack!" Clone Commander said loudly.

I only saw in the sky that the two Acclamator-class assault ship began to lower their altitude, turned on the super-powerful searchlights on the belly of the battleship, and shined in the direction of blocking the troops.

However, there was only a sea of fire and nothing could be seen clearly! And because there were friendly forces in that direction, Acclamator-class did not dare to fire rashly.

The battleship took off a formation of fighter jets, wanting to go over to investigate the situation.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Hundreds of Geth fighter suddenly appeared from the horizon, and they flew fiercely towards the Galactic Republic fighter formation!

"Asshole! It's Geth fighter!"

"They were hiding in the woods before!"

"Attack! Attack! Kill them!"

Boom! boom!! A Galactic Republic V-19 Torrent light fighter was hit by an ion cannon during the fight and instantly exploded into a ball of fire.

At the same time, the close-range defense artillery fire on Acclamator-class also began to fire! The sky was suddenly filled with lasers and missiles!

However, this group of Geth fighter was very fierce. Their flight performance and reaction speed directly overwhelmed the pilots of Galactic Republic, and shot down all the V-19 fighter jets in this formation in just a few minutes! Then it pounced on Acclamator-class like a swarm of wasps!

This is not over yet, there are even several Geth frigate ships tens of meters long joining the battle!

After being hit on the shields by dozens of powerful ion cannons, the two Acclamator-class assault ship had to start climbing to avoid fighting at ultra-low altitudes.

At the same time, the voice of Republic fleet also came from the communication, [... We have detected that Geth frigate is entering the planet's atmosphere! They were previously hidden among the wreckage of battleships in outer orbit! We have sent a fighter formation to support! Hang in there!]
